| Guildencrantz's Full Review: The Bat! |
The Bat! does more than just let you check your email and write messages, it is a full email management program. You can filter incoming email, deleting unwanted email, automatically filing other email, and have an audio alert of new email messages.
Some of these features may seem very common, but they way that they work, and the easy of their setup, is unique to The Bat! Coming out of RIT The Bat! is a great little program. It is fast and allows you to fully customize every aspect of your email process. From the filtering described above to the template that you use to write messages you can customize it all. The Bat! even lets you setup templates for different types of messages that you send out: new messages, reply messages, formal, informal, etc. You can setup different signatures and styles for every type of situation.
Besides all the amazing customizabilty that is available with The Bat! it also supports every form of email client. Whether you are using POP3, PGP, or IMAP4 The Bat! will do the job. You can even set up The Bat! to serve as a LAN email server!
With auto-checking, word search, and tons of other features it may seem like The Bat! would be a huge hassle to learn, it's not. You can install The Bat! and start using it immediately. The main interface is pretty standard, but as you have more time you can delve into the fine tuning of The Bat! and learn how to make it work for you. The Bat! is also a fairly small and quick program that works unobtrusively on your computer. It is great for people just getting a computer or for the more experienced users who want all the control that they can get.
